Photographer’s Note
It has been a wonderful bank holiday in the UK, unlike the continental Europe in the UK bank holidays are allocated either on Friday or Monday or both, which is quite good giving us the long weekends so much enjoyed by the Brits, and of course, those who have adopted this country as their second home, right, that said, now I can give you the insight to this wonderful shot.
So, on this wonderful bank holiday I went with my family to the seaside town of Eastbourne, I do like it there as it tends to be more quieter than Brighton, being such a hot day everyone is out showing of their gleaming motorcycles or the Ferraris to the passers by eating their ice creams or the so called “sweet rock” which is produced locally, and so, this was a brilliant shot that I caught just by the pier, this old 1930`s Ford was coming out of a junction to let a big old 1950`s army lorry, what else would you want? I think it was a perfect capture of the old living in the present, brilliant, many thanks to all for dropping by and for your support.

Very interesting juxtaposition indeed. The composition is very good with only half of the old Ford in the frame. The warm color tones are very fitting for this "older" looking photograph. It seems to give a period look.

Very nice view of the conjonction of these two vehicules. If we forget the modern car behind the military truck, it is a bit like being brought back in the 40's and more precisely in 1943 or 1944, when England was full of troops preparing for the invasion of Europe. The colors also concur to that nostalgic atmosphere.
All the best,
Emmanuel
